Lusk is the best example of an early ecclesiastical enclosure in the county. Both inner c.110m x 100m) and middle enclosures (c.250m x 220m) are reflected in street layout and plot boundaries (Aalen 1992, 87). The present Main Street, N portion of the Dublin Road, Church Road and Church Street respect the former boundaries of the early ecclesiastical enclosure. Part of the outer enclosure was identified through test excavation (Licence 01E0872ext.) and preserved in what is now the open space of Chapel Farm housing estate. Archaeological investigation to accommodate road widening along the Church road also identified part of the outer ecclesiastical enclosure which was radiocarbon dated from the early 5th through the 6th century AD. (O'Connell 2009, 59).
